Learning How to Learn Metacognition Teacher Suggestions, Stories, Qs
Here is a 2 minute video link to a 5th grade classroom lesson that really highlights the PORTALS learning to learn framework and the role that dialogue plays!

Do you need to plan for “learning how to learn” (metacognitive learning)? How do we teach students to do that? Could they write their own “lesson plans?”
Here’s one “lesson planning” framework for meta learning:
P.O.R.T.A.L.S.
Plan | Reflection |
PURPOSE: Is the goal clear? Do you need to break it down into smaller parts?
|
|
OPERATIONS: How will you process (understand) the concepts/facts/ideas? Do you need to extend/expand them? How will you do that? (Framework?*)
|
|
REMEMBERING: You will need to “hold on to” the ideas/information in working memory and transfer the ideas/info to long term memory. How will you do that?
|
|
TEAM WORK: Who can help you do the task/reach the goal/solve the problem? How would they help?
|
|
ACTION: What will the outcome of your work be? How will you demonstrate what you have learned/achieved? Will you disseminate it? How?
|
|
LAYERING A FOUNDATION. All goals are about something—the content: concepts, ideas, information. What content will you need/use to achieve your goal? How will you use and then expand your current knowledge base about that content?
How |
|
SELF-MANAGEMENT: Is your plan for making this a successful experience a good starting place? When and how will you reflect on your learning process and outcome?
